  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ex-Tottenham man Dele has not played first-team football since a loan stint out at Besiktas in the 2022-23 season, with a string of injuries and other issues befalling the attacking midfielder after that. He was included in Como's squad last time out and manager Cesc Fabregas has hinted his chance will come soon. But while he waits, Dele seems to be in good spirits at his new team.
